ING Private Equity Access (ING PEAL) is a new investment opportunity providing access to the specialist asset class known as private equity. Very simply, private equity involves investing in companies at various stages of their development, but not yet listed on a stock exchange. It is a way to give these unlisted companies the funds they need to reach their full potential. The offer arises through the launch of a new limited company, ING PEAL, which is seeking to raise up to A$120 million prior to its scheduled listing on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) in late November. ING PEAL is a unique diversified investment that targets superior returns over the long term through investing in a carefully selected portfolio of private equity managers. Investment in ING Private Equity Access offers the following benefits: · Superior returns – the objective is to provide real long-term returns superior to those provided by traditional asset classes. · Diversification – utilises a multi-manager approach to develop a portfolio of private equity funds, providing diversification across different managers, styles and strategies. · Access and liquidity – invests in companies that are often difficult for individual investors to access; and, by being publicly listed, provides liquidity (allowing investors access to their funds). ING PEAL gives investors access to the returns from companies seeking significant capital injections to expand rapidly. These companies have the potential to become the household names of tomorrow. Companies in previous ING private equity investments include well-recognised, successful companies such as Pumpkin Patch, Frucor, Repco and Wizard. ING Investment Management has an impressive track record in private equity investing, as its current institutional portfolios show:
